The Tijuca Forest (English for “Floresta da Tijuca”) is a tropical rainforest in Rio de Janeiro. It is famous for being one of the biggest urban forests in the world, covering more than 30 km². Situated in a mountainous region which includes the Tijuca Massif, it is part of the Carioca Mosaic, established in 2011.

This area, previously developed to grow sugar and coffee, was replanted during the 19th century in a successful effort to protect the water supply of Rio de Janeiro. In 1961 its was declared the Tijuca Forest National Park. As well as a rich flora and fauna, and stunning waterfalls, it features the famous sculpture of Christ the Redeemer.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
